About Family Life
FamilyLife was formed by Campus Crusade for Christ (know as Agapé in Europe) in the US in 1976. Since then it has grown to offer seminars, conferences and courses to those in and outside the Church throughout the world. Using Biblical principles, FamilyLife courses look at the Christian model of marriage and family relationships. They cover a range of topics such as roles in marriage, self-esteem, stress, conflict resolution and communication. Some 1,000 courses have been run to date.
In the UK FamilyLife is part of Agapé. Agapé is well known for its initiative 'the Jesus Video Project' in which it now works with some 2,000 churches throughout the UK.
